[quote=Anonymous]Post-partum anxiety is real and can be absolutely debilitating. Ask me how I know. Or I'll just tell you ... it was so bad after my second baby that I had a nervous breakdown when she was 9 weeks old. Refused meds, but started talk therapy. Things were still difficult but I figured hey, 2 kids is hard. When she was about 18 months old, my marriage was in tatters and I was constantly getting into arguments with everyone I knew, it suddenly hit me ... I AM NOT OK. Started a low-dose antidepressant and suddenly I had my life back. I realize meds aren't for everyone, and even if you are open to meds, you may have to try a few before you find one that works for you. But I strongly encourage you to find a therapist that specializes in PPA/PPD for talk therapy and a psychiatrist who can write meds for you if you're open to it. Because you don't have to live like this, honey. Hugs to you. [/quote]
